No, someone sent it to me on Facebook. I just went to FB and grabbed the first picture I saw to test out posting pictures with Linux.

Mount Fanjing in Southeastern China. It is almost 9,000 steps to the summit. The buildings at the top are two Buddhist temples—the Temple of the Buddha and the Temple of Maitreya, and they are linked by a small footbridge. This is the highest peak of the Wuling Mountains, at 8,430 feet.

Mrs. Holly and I have been on vacation this past week on the cruise ship Celebrity Equinox. This is our last night at sea, we are headed for home In the Eastern Caribbean Sea, probably 200 nautical miles south of Port Everglades/Fort Lauderdale now. We had good weather for the whole trip but tonight was the only time we had a decent sunset.

Observing a rare phenomenon in the sky of the city of Gurhan, New Hampshire, USA, of the clouds of “Andoladus asperatus”, which is a Latin word meaning (wild waves).
It is formed as a result of dry winds blowing from the top of the mountains, then it flows to the moist lower regions, turning into wavy clouds, and with the sun's rays, its final shape becomes like the waves of the sea.
